to give an idea of the scope and purpose
of the law, as well as to except the partic-
ular business or occupations. All of the
exceptions named IN the law are matters
of necessity by the terms of the law,
whether so in fact or not. When people
do not want to understand the law it is
easy to mystify it to their own satisfac-
tion. When they desire to obey the law,
it is easy for them to do so. A
great deal depends upon the will, both
in the matter of understanding and obey
ing. The silly assertion has been made
that the keepers of houses exempt are
personally exempted from the operations
of the law for all purposes. 1t seems to
me that such construction makes such
nonsense, as would deter man who knew
the difference between sense and nonsense
from making it. The legislature has
declared the newspaper public necessity
by employing it, among such necessities;
and whether it be SO or not in fact, it is
so in law. Such being my views of the
law, it is my judgment that the relator
Is illegally restricted of his liberty, and
should be discharged,a and it is accordingly
so ordered.

Matters at Duval

Special Telegram to the Statesman
DUvAL, October 4.-7A stylish looking
couple, evidently man and wife, having
two very large trunks, drove up in o
wagon TO the depot, and bopgbt tickets TO
Taylor. From Detective Chennoville, who
was at Duval, ON the spy we are IN
formed that the party were Mr., and Mrs.
McKendricks, the latter emigrating from
Austin in search of "fresh fields and pas.
lures new"
Mr.. W. A. Bankston, on his way home
from Duval, had the misfortune TO have
the horse upon which he was riding, slip
and fall on him, besides dragging him
through brush and rocks FOR several
yards. DR.. Shannon, of Fiskville, was i'm
mediately sent for and found several
gashes on his head, and bruised up con.
sidorably. From last accounts the young
man was suffering very much, and IL is
thought he is injured internally.

DALLAS, October 3.-Yesterday Mr.. Lot
Barlow, of Forney, came to this city to
see Miss Julia Walker, living at 1133
jackson street. They were to have been
married in few days. Last night after
church they were out walking in the City
park, when they were suddenly confronted
by two negroes Who, with drawn revolvers,
ordered them to halt. The negroes pro-
ceeded to rob Mr.. Barlow of all
his money, watch and rings, after
which one of them kept him covered
with pistol, while the other took the
lady to secluded spot and committed the
most atrocious crime ossible to a brutal
natuce. 1t was after midnig hit when the
negroes left, and the deed was made
known. A runner was sent for the Off
GERS, who ran as rapidly as possible to the
spot. This morning the city was TIRED
from center to circumference and had
the negroes been caught, II is probable
they would have been burned at the stake.
On the street corners, in the hotels, every
where the damnatle deed was the only
theme of conversation.
It is evident that this is not the first
deed of the kind the negroes have COM
mitted, as the brute cautioned Miss Walker
against making any noise, stating that's
ga lady in Marshall did not heed my
warning and was sent to hell afying."
When the officers arrived at the city
park the negroes had been gone some
three-quarters of an hour, and informa-
tion as to which was they had gone was
difficult to get. They secured the city
and suburbs until daylight, and returned
unable to find any trace of
them. Chief of Police Arnold
sent to Waxahachie, this morning,
for dogs, in the hope of yet tracking
them down, but does not feel very san
guine over the prospects of doing so, as
the trail will necessarily be cold.
Opinion is divided in the action of Mr..
Barlow in standing and submitting to the
perpetration of this deed. Some con-
tend that he did what was for the best un-
der the circumstances, as had he made
any resistance both would probably have
been killed; while others contend that he,
as the affianced husband of Miss Walker,
should have been willing to run the risk
of sacrificing his life in protect
ing her virtue, and that had he
given the alarm the negroes would have
left without doing either of them an
injury. Miss Walker was prostrated to-
day from the fearful ordeal through which
she passed last night, but is doing as we'll
as could be expected. The officers have a
couple of negroes spotted somewhere in
the city, but who they are and what por-
ton of the city they are in cannot be
ascertained.
LATER-The father of Miss Walker
claims the negro did not accomplish his
purpose, but that the young lady was
badly bruised.

Perilous Position of the Passengers--

ST.. JOSEPH, Mich, October 4.-The
schooner Havana, owned by Captain A.
p. Read, of Kenosha, was sighted off this
port yesterday flying signals of distress.
The vessel was in sinking condition and
the crew were unable to keep her hold
clear. Captain John Curran concluded
to beach her if possible, and headed for
shore at 8 o'clock. When about three
quarters of mile off shore the
vessel went down, and the
crew were seen to climb into the
rigging. There were seven men aboard,
Captain Curran, the steward, John Morris
and sailor named Joseph Clint, who
climbed into the main rigging and let the
Others into the fore rigging. AS the YES
sci gave a heavy lurch the malnmast
washed overheard, carrying three men
into the breakers. They struck out Tor
shore, and when last seen we're breasting
the waves. AS nothing has been seen OF
them since they are probably drowned.
The remaining four men clung to the
crosstrees for nearly three hours, when a
tug rescued them from their perilous po-
sition.

Cleveland witnessed the grand street
pageant of the Yelled Prophet, illustrat.
ing, by twenty-five floats, some of the
events of biblical history, beginning with
the dawn of history, the expulsion of
Lucifer, Egyptian captivity, scenes of the
exodus, the Philistines, the prophets,
events of Daniels and Josiah's lives,
war scenes, and ending with the
famous Belshazzar's feast. The procession
moved without interruption, and was
about an hour in passing throughout its
length. 1t was illuminated by colored
lights, besides the glare from the hun
dred thousand gas jets especially erected
along the route for the carnival.
The crowds along the line of march
were very dense. From Fourth to Six
teenth streets along Washington Avenue
was mass of humanity, leaving scarcely
room enough for the floats to pass by.
The five hundred police were utterly un-
able to control the people, but the moving
column kept open the way.
At O'Clock the last car had passed by
the Lindell hotel, and the president and
Mrs. Cleveland were Immediately con-
veyed to the Merchants Exchange build
ings, in the great hall of which was to be
the Yelled Prophets ball. They were re-
ceived in the library room, which had been
especially and elegantly furnished for the
occasion.
AT THE BALL.
After a short rest they were escorted to
the ball room, Mr.. Frank Gaiennie, presi-
dent of the exchange, and Mayor Francis
leading, and the president and Mrs.
Cleveland Immediately behind, followed
by members of the reception committee
and their wives, The trumpet call sig
nailed their approach, and they marched
around the hall to the music of "Hail to
the Chief"
At the center of the north end, upon q
platform, were seats for the president and
wife, Mayor Francis and wife and Mr..
Gaiennie and wife. The triumphal pro-
oession moved to these, and as the hon
ored guests were seated, the audience o
ladies and gentlemen, in full dress cos
tune, roundly applauded. Mrs. Cleve-
land was attired in ruby velvet dress,
low neck and short sleeves, bodice cut
square and necklace of diamonds. For a
few moments those on the floor gathered
near the platform, but soon resumed the
promenade.
At 10 O'Clock the trumpeters announced
the coming of the Yelled Prophet, and the
promenaders gave way to give his excel
lency and court followers the desired
room. His exoellency led the procession,
escorted by a train of
richly dressed men and bearing
banners of a strange device and arms of
the feudal days. They marched around
the hall several times, and when that
terminated the ball was opened. At II
O'Clock the presidential party withdrew
and were escorted Immediately to the
depot and were soon on the way to
Chicago.

LOST ON THE LAKES.
The Propeller California Caught in a
Storm, and the Result.


Storm, and the Result.
DETROIT, October "A special to the
Evening journal from Mackinaw City,
Mich, says: "The propeller California,
commanded by Captain Trowell, left Chi
cago Saturday night bound for Montreal.
She was laden with 10000 bushels of corn
and 200 barrels of pork and carried crew
of twenty-three persons, and also had
three passengers. She encountered a
heavy wind early Monday morning off
Beavers, and at 4 p. m. the sea had in
creased so it was impossible to steer her,
and 300 barrels of pork we're thrown over
board, but without helping her much.
About IL p. M, when just above St.
Helena island, the sea broke in the gang
way and put out the fires. She then
swung around in the trough of the sea and
began breaking up.
The captain ordered the boats lowered,
but she was so badly listed that it was
impossible to lower but one.
The captain went into the cabin to get
the passengers, but when he returned he
found that the first mate and several men
had left with the boat. The steamer now
began rapidly breaking up, and soon all
handS were struggling In the water. The
captain and engineer succeeded in getting
the boat loose from the wreck, and picked
up the second engineer, cook and one
lady. Their boat drifted down along side
the propeller, "a. Folsom" which was
anchored under the st. Helena and was
picked mp and brought here. Another
boat had succeeded in getting ashore,near
Point La Barbe. The steamer Faxton
picked up one man who was drifting to
the straits on some wreckage.
Among the lost are Geo. Foley, purser;
Cornelius Connerton, of Detroit, passen.
ger; Ella Pappar, stewardess; Arthur Wax
ard, cabin boy, and Robert Grant.
The shore, for five miles above here, is
strewn with wreckage. Captain Trowell
says all were supplied with life preservers,
and it is probable that all the bodies will
be recovered.

: GALVESTON, October 3.-Col. r. G. Lowe,
managing editor of the News, accompa-
MED by Constable Kaehler, and L. j. Bal
linger, his counsel, went 70 Houston this
morning, and at IL O'Clock appeared be-
fore Judge Gustave Cook to hear the
habeas corpus case set for that hour.
After reciting the circumstances of Mr..
loves arrest and admitting the
fact that his employees worked on
Sunday, Attorney Ballinger went
into an eloquent defense Of
his client, grounding his case upon
that special provision in the law permit
ting the sale of newspapers, and ably
maintaining, by numerous high author
tiles, that this provision of the law car
ried with it the evident exemption of the
labor necessary to edit and publish the
newspaper on Sunday.
Judge Cook took this view of Che case,
holding that the legislature, by permit
ting the sale of newspapers on Sunday,
and, such being his views of the law, ,he
declared it his judgment that the defend.
ant was illegally restrained Of his liberty,
and ordered his discharge forthwith.
This settles this application of the Sun
day law, So far rs it relates to the publ
cation of newspapers, the ancient free
dom of the press being fully upheld by a
liberal-minded court Mr.. Lowe is Justly
gratiied at this speedy conclusion of the
case, and at the Judicial confirmation OF
his own views touching his rights as an
editor and publisher under the law.
JUDGE COOKS VIEWS.
Houston, October 3.-R. G. Lowe, man
ager of the Galveston News, who was ar.
rested last Saturday for violating the Sun
day law in compelling employees to work
on Sunday, had FINAL hearing to-day be.
fore Judge Cook, of the criminal distrioi
court, on a writ of habeas corpus. IN
rendering his decision, Judge Cook said
that the work of necessity and charity and
household duties could only be deter
mined by jury, and it would be the duty
of the court, in his judgment, to sub
NIT the questions of both fact and
law to the jury, the court moi
being able TO know and declare
judicially what were works of charity and
necessity. Tho number and character oi

Lamar Gets IT.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.

GALVESTON, October 4.--Some time
since Judge VIM. p. Ballinger, M. E. Kle-
berg, and Frank M. Spencer, leading
members of the Galveston bar, visited
Washington and called upon President
Cleveland to urge the appointment of
Hon. A. H. Willie, present chief justice
of Texas, to the vacancy on the supreme
bench of the United States, caused by the
death of Judge w. Woods. This commit
tee has arrived home, and from them it is
learned that the president informed the
delegation that should he remain in his
present frame of mind he would certainly
appoint Secretary Lamar to the vacancy,
and the delegation came home feeling
that Secretary Lamar's nomination was a
fixed certainty,
